With her high bow and canoe stern, there is
no mistaking the trawler inspiration behind this chunky but
compact sea going boat. Although she has a sailing rig, I
think most would agree she is best thought of as a
motor-boat, but the sails add an extra dimension when
conditions and inclination allow. The current owner has
enjoyed the varied and often challenging cruising that the
Irish Sea presents with Marna, as well as ventures further
north onto Scotland’s West Coast.
Marna benefits from a recently new wheelhouse
as well as a fairly comprehensive suite of electronics and
navigation aids.
The layout is simple – with the wheelhouse
encompassing the helmsman’s seat above the engine box. To
starboard is the galley area and going forward the main
cabin incorporates a heads enclosure to port and two single
berths. In this broker’s opinion, Marna should really be
considered as being most suitably configured for the enjoyment of a pair of cruising men.
